David Xiulei Ji works to elucidate basic structure-property correlation at atomic and nanometric scales for charge-storage materials. Such correlation guides us to design and synthesize advanced electrode materials to enable sustainable energy storage and conversion solutions. He integrates electrochemical principles with basic material chemistry to explore new charge storage mechanisms and device configurations.
David Xiulei Ji has a B.S. in Chemistry from Jilin University, a M.S. in Materials Chemistry from the University of Waterloo, a Ph.D. in Materials Chemistry from University of Waterloo, was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Waterloo, and a NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of California, Santa Barbara.
He has been awarded the Loyd Carter Graduate Teaching Award in 2018, the NSF CAREER Award in 2016, the NSERC Innovation Challenge Award in 2010, the NSERC Postdoctoral Fellowship from 2010-2012, and the Government Award for Outstanding Students Studying Abroad in 2009.
